1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,140
I would say the toughest part about 

2
00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:04,251
they wanted saying goodbye to mom and 

3
00:00:04,251 --> 00:00:06,307
dad and your family members . It was 

4
00:00:06,307 --> 00:00:06,230
tough for everyone . It was tough for 

5
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:08,780
me and echoes across the whole Coast 

6
00:00:08,780 --> 00:00:12,450
Guard and military in general . Right ? 

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,830
So I'm first class Palma May I am 

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,850
a senior here at the academy . My 

9
00:00:21,850 --> 00:00:23,961
position this summer is the battalion 

10
00:00:23,961 --> 00:00:26,370
suave summer officer . My tasks include 

11
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:28,860
overseeing developing the swab summer 

12
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:31,200
program for not only the swab class of 

13
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,040
2025 but also the Kadre for the class 

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,020
of 2023 . Day 

15
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:40,076
one . Obviously , you got that shock 

16
00:00:40,076 --> 00:00:42,298
and awe factor . Condrey start training 

17
00:00:42,298 --> 00:00:44,464
from the moment that they arrived into 

18
00:00:44,464 --> 00:00:46,576
Chase hall . We do not waste a second 

19
00:00:46,576 --> 00:00:48,742
that goes for the whole summer because 

20
00:00:48,742 --> 00:00:50,909
so much has to be packed in . To those 

21
00:00:50,909 --> 00:00:54,840
seven weeks advice I 

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,840
would give to swap man . It was the 

23
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,062
same advice I gave to my swabs as a car 

24
00:00:59,062 --> 00:01:01,062
driver . If you do anything , do it 

25
00:01:01,062 --> 00:01:03,118
with confidence . If I messed up , I 

26
00:01:03,118 --> 00:01:05,229
did it with confidence and I wouldn't 

27
00:01:05,229 --> 00:01:07,451
mess up , would be the best at it . Own 

28
00:01:07,451 --> 00:01:09,673
up to it . If you did something wrong , 

29
00:01:09,673 --> 00:01:11,673
dropped the food own up to it . The 

30
00:01:11,673 --> 00:01:13,729
cadre won't be mad if you admit your 

31
00:01:13,729 --> 00:01:15,840
mistakes and you move on . It's a lot 

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:15,820
better than lying and trying to get out 

33
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:19,770
of it , hurry up , hurry up 

34
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:21,891
and I talk around people that went to 

35
00:01:21,891 --> 00:01:24,058
Cape May . The Academy Rose ? S saying 

36
00:01:24,058 --> 00:01:26,113
goodbye to mom and dad is always the 

37
00:01:26,113 --> 00:01:28,336
toughest . Then that lifestyle change . 

38
00:01:28,336 --> 00:01:30,669
Also . You go from being really relaxed , 

39
00:01:30,669 --> 00:01:32,502
enjoying yourself to having that 

40
00:01:32,502 --> 00:01:34,760
discipline . Professionalism everywhere 

41
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,290

42
00:01:38,290 --> 00:01:41,250

43
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,417
success so that they could step up and 

44
